Ed Sheeran and Stormzy go head-to-head!

Ed Sheeran are Stormzy and BFFs and have worn each other's t-shirts to other awards ceremonies. Ed even brought the grime MC out onstage at last year's Brits to help him perform a medley of Castle on the Hill and Shape of You. This year, that friendship will be put to one side as the pair are up against each other in the Best British Male Solo Artist and Best British Album categories!
